Rains and hailstorm today played spoilsport on the inaugural day of the Art of Living Foundation-organised World Cultural Festival which is already mired in controversy.
The entire venue along the bank of river Yamuna became a scene of mini pools, making the area slippery and difficult to manoeuvre. The event managers seemed to be unprepared to deal with untimely rain.
The younger lot, who were participating in the cultural programme, used the occasion to perform impromptu rain dance.
Nima Kamdar, spokesperson for the event and a senior trainer with the Art of Living Foundation, however, said "this is the divine blessing for our event."
The three-day World Cultural Festival, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi this evening, will see several VIPs including Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal attending it.
